HERE  is  a  whole-souled  sturdiness 
about  a  Christmas  gift  from  "The 
Greatest  Sporting  Goods  Store  in 
the  World"  which  no  other  gift 
can  possibly  possess.  It  has  much 
of  the  suggestion  of  those  early 
Christmases  when  logs  blazed  within  and  the  snow 
drifted  without — when  men  and  women  traveled 
over  hills  and  down  the  dales  to  the  music  of  sleigh- 
bells,  bound  for  a  cheery  Christmas  hearthstone 
far  removed  from  city  scenes. 

That  wonderful  outdoor  Christmas  spirit  still 
survives — and  it  is  appealed  to  with  emphasis  by 
the  sporting  gift  articles  herein  presented. 

To  give  your  friend  that  which  he  will  most 
like  to  receive — study  his  hobbies.  The  gift  which 
appeals  to  his  favorite  sport  brings  the  glow  to  his 
heart  and  his  cheek. 

For  the  woman  and  the  boy  and  the  girl  who 
love  outdoor  life  and  indoor  games,  this  store 
contains  a  wealth  of  suggestions  not  to  be  found 
elsewhere.  Always  the  most  interesting  shop  in 
America,  as  Christmas  approaches  its  attractive- 
ness is  multiplied. 

May  we  suggest  an  early  personal  visit — or  an 
early  order  by  mail,  before  the  final  rush  of  holi- 
day shopping?
